3ph lever

This happened without warning: Lever for the 3ph is nearly set-up. The 870 JD was serviced this spring and has 480 on it now. Any ideas?????? dass

Are we missing a picture or something here?

Don't have a pic,Norm. Can't understand what has happened to make the lever so tight,takes both hands to move it. The arms will move if you're strong enough to move the handle !dass

Norm, in some parts of the country, set-up means locked-up or locked in place. Like glue sets-up.

Dass, I really don't know anything at all about your JD but is it possible that the Stop Valve for the 3pt got inadvertently screwed in during the service? I am assuming that it has a Stop Valve like my Yanmar.
